Lies Your Parents Told YouI once overheard a neighbour use the phrase "nig nog". I asked my father what it meant. As quick as a flash he said, "It's a type of biscuit. A bit like a hobnob." Can you beat this? BTW: We're keeping this thread open for an extra week as we're enjoying the stories so much.

Someone got it wrongMy parents always told me I couldnt go swimming until an hour after eating or I'd get stomach cramps and drown.
My wife's parents told her to go swimming straight after eating or not at all. If you waited for longer than an hour you'd get stomach cramps and drown.
At least one set got it wrong.
